And I don't recall shooting that many in one day at any other time in my career, been lots of 25 -35 roll days and of course lots of 1 roll days. ;-) Heck even on a long time birthing I've gone through 30 rolls quite easily in capturing all the details, facial expressions and TLC that goes on. Of course you never use every frame, but then a writer doesn't use every word he writes while doing a story either. Film is nothing more than tubes of paint and brushes an artist uses to create a complete painting.. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
